TOO BUSY






The Hiwassee River is about 6 miles
from our house on the road and maybe
 a couple of miles as the crow flies.




Good morning to you!
What do you do when life gets busy? Obviously for me it is skip this blog. I didn't even realize that I had not done it until last night. And then didn't know I had missed two days until just now. Ugh! Forgive me!

I love doing this but sometimes when I have a busy day ahead and it starts very early I miss it. What else have I missed in life because I was too busy? I am sure it is a lot of things. And how often do I miss God because I get so caught up in my busyness that I miss Him. Shame on me! Forgive me Lord!

That is not how I want to live my life. I want to live it for Jesus. I want to live life where I have my focus, my priorities so on Him that I don't miss anything. Lord, please help me to do that!

I have posted this before but I am going to do it again because it will really make you think. Here is the link:

 TOO BUSY

The article that I have adds these few things to it: "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." "Give them headaches too!" "If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!" "Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas." "Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about His resurrection and power over sin and death." 

These things in the last paragraph were in my original copy of this.

 So, think about it. Are you too busy! 
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary 
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh 
about, seeking whom he may devour".
1 Peter 5:8

The thief comes only to steal and kill 
and destroy; I have come that they may
 have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10

Don't let yourself get too busy. It is okay to say no sometimes!

Have a wonderful day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
